I feel like every day I come across 15-20 "AI-powered tool"s that "analyze" something, and none of them clearly state how they use data. This one seems harmless enough, put a profile in, it will scrape everything about them, all their personal information, their location, every post they ever made... Nothing can possibly go wrong aggregating all that personal info, right? No idea where this data is sent, where it's stored, who it's sold to. Kinda alarming

Like Lemmy or Mastodon, BlueSky was made with the idea of federation. While BlueSky is not there yet, federated services are inherently very easy to scrape.

Maybe it's time for people to understand that anything they post/vote/comment/like should be considered public domain.
